7 Sins


Envy


Greed


Wrath


Lust


Sloth


Gluttony


Pride











So here is my 7 Sins stuff.  This was a lot of fun.  My concept came to me in a public bathroom while I had my daughter...  she's potty training.  It was a reminder that there are totally different social rules in bathrooms, and that people don't feel comfortable there.  I wanted the viewer to be a little uncomfortable looking at my "sins", but I'm not sure if I accomplished that.  I think it works well as a series though, and I got a bunch of practice with photoshop too...   something that I've resisted so far.  I'm sure that others could do better, but this is really my first stab at altering images, and I only know how to use a handful of tools.  There are a few edges or spots where there should be shadows that bother me, but I'll get better.  I also wish I had better original images to work with, but shooting in public rest rooms has a very short time limit, and I wasn't really doing a lot of quality control as I shot.  It was more of a post-production crap shoot...  but I think the overall results are pretty successful.
